Subscriber of the Gods-Chapter 298: Second Semester Course Registration

“What’s the matter, Principal?”

“It’s about this semester’s classes. What classes are you planning to teach?”

In the principal’s office.

The principal, who had called Ethan, asked him the most important question.

This semester was a crucial period that would determine the entire year, and Ethan was Ivecar Academy’s hope and ace in the hole.

Following Claudie Hyde, they now had the chance to deliver another strong punch with Ethan Whiskers, so from the principal’s perspective, this second semester was extremely important.

He needed to pay attention to what kind of classes Ethan would use to teach and hone the students’ skills.

Also, Ethan’s reputation needed to be well maintained throughout the second semester.

“Teacher Ethan, if there are any classes you want to teach, I’ll support you as much as possible. I’ll also adjust the number of students as you wish. And…”

The principal said with a smile.

“I heard that the Whiskers family is about to join the Twelve Families. Congratulations.”

“Thank you, Principal.”

Ethan bowed his head with a smile.

“This semester, I plan to teach a class that can be taken by all students, regardless of their department.”

“Oh ho, a class that doesn’t discriminate between departments.”

“For now, I’m planning to set aside the existing classes I taught in the first semester. This time, I’ll be teaching practical skills.”

He had intended to continue the Potion Manufacturing class, but the situation had changed. The need to continue the Potion Manufacturing class had disappeared.

Instead, he had found something he wanted to teach.

Practical skills.

He had tried it once before, but this time he planned to delve deeper.

The principal’s reaction also seemed intrigued.

“You’ve done practical classes using golems before, right? The students’ evaluations were very good. Is it something like that?”

This was exactly why Ethan’s classes were gaining popularity.

Not only could the content learned in class be directly applied to practical situations, but it was also highly efficient.

Especially the class using special golems in the first semester was loved by everyone, receiving explosive reactions and excellent evaluations.

“I was going to tell you when the second semester started. I’ve heard a lot of parents are satisfied with your classes. Thanks to that, the academy has received a lot of donations. Surprisingly so.”

“It will be similar this time. But I’m going to make it more practical. In the process, some students might get hurt. But we shouldn’t be afraid of getting hurt.”

“They might get hurt? Do you mean there could be situations you can’t control, Teacher Ethan?”

“It means they can have a more definite experience. Hasn’t Ivecar only been producing greenhouse flowers until now?”

“…”

The principal looked at Ethan.

This was rather a thought that could only come from a new teacher. After teaching for a while, one would realize that these words were purely idealistic.

However, Ethan had enough power to turn ideals into reality.

“The parents already like my teaching methods. If the students agree, we can proceed with practical education without any problems, and the parents will probably like it even more.”

“You can’t satisfy all parents.”

“If any complaints come in, please send them to me right away.”

Ethan said with a smile.

“I’ll make sure to satisfy them.”

***

The full-scale course registration began.

The students gathered in the auditorium had quite tense faces.

Among the classes for this second semester, there was one class that all students of Ivecar were paying attention to.

It was Ethan Whiskers’ class.

Regardless of whether they were in the Knight Department or the Magic Department, and even regardless of their year, everyone wanted to take Ethan’s class.

“This is our last chance. We’re in the graduating class. If we don’t take it now, we’ll never be able to!”

“But seniors, you’re in the Magic Department. Teacher Ethan is originally a Swordsmanship instructor, isn’t he?”

“Teacher Ethan is a magician. He’s just good at swordsmanship.”

“He’s a swordsman who’s good at magic.”

“How dare you talk back to your senior!”

“What, did you buy me a meal or something?”

In the midst of the competition, there were also those who were at ease.

They were Ethan’s favorite students and those who had received good grades in his previous classes.

“I didn’t know our school’s students were so eager to study.”

Yuna wore a surprised expression as she looked at all the Ivecar students waiting.

“Those who have taken the teacher’s class want to take it again, and those who haven’t are so curious that they have to take it.”

Yuna nodded at Ron’s words.

“Yuna Garnet, do you happen to know what Teacher Ethan’s subject is this time?”

“I haven’t heard anything yet either. But he mentioned it once in class. He said the next class would be an introduction to practical skills. He also said he’d reduce the total number of students.”

“I remember that. Then the people who took the Understanding of the Sword Path class would all know. The rest of the students don’t know the content of the teacher’s second semester class, but it’s interesting to see them waiting like that.”

The students gathered here were prepared to take whatever class Ethan was teaching.

“Even if he taught a class on how to eat three meals a day deliciously, they’d probably all take it. They want to take anything Teacher Ethan teaches, no matter what it is.”

“It’s starting.”

Ron’s eyes lit up. This course registration was literally a survival battle where one had to compete with their own abilities.

As soon as a sound was heard from the administration office, everyone started to focus.

Course registration was basically on a first-come, first-served basis.

The academy doesn’t just have teachers in charge of classes.

There were also teachers who handled administrative work to ensure the smooth operation of the academy, and these administrative teachers were in charge of the academy’s course registration process.

As soon as the door opens, students can go to the administrative teachers and register for courses.

That’s why all the students were engaged in a staring contest.

Creaaak-.

With the sound of the door opening, course registration began.

All the gathered students simultaneously pushed off the ground and ran forward.

Boom-!

The ground shook from how serious everyone was.

“This looks like trouble.”

Among all the students, particularly formidable ones were gathered here. If something goes wrong even for a moment, someone could get hurt.

“There are school rules, so there’s nothing to worry about. If someone gets hurt, the person responsible immediately becomes the lowest priority for course registration. Probably no one will get hurt.”

“That actually makes it more complicated.”

Clatter-.

At that moment, the door opened completely.

“Alright, course registration starts… Ah!? W-What? Why are there so many…”

As soon as the door opened, the administrative teacher announced the start of the second semester course registration.

And at the same time, everyone’s course registration was halted.

Whoosh-.

Everyone’s movement suddenly stopped.

“Ugh…”

“M-My body won’t move…”

“Damn it. W-What’s going on…!”

One student was floating in the air. That student waved their hand with a light movement and smoothly moved forward.

“Roanna Prochet!”

The genius of the Magic Department, Roanna, turned her head gently to look at the students and smiled softly.

“Don’t worry. I’ll register first, and you can share the remaining spots among yourselves.”

It was an overwhelming performance. Who would have thought she could bind the movements of everyone present here.

“That monster…”

“Is this… even possible! How many people are here!”

“No, this doesn’t make sense. Mana is restricted… we can only use a handful, how did she use just a handful to… block all the people here…!”

Max Jurod, the top student of the 3rd year Swordsmanship Department, also watched Roanna’s back with an expression of humiliation and disbelief.

It was truly overwhelming magical skill. As the aggrieved student said, the use of mana is greatly restricted within Ivecar Academy.

It’s restricted to the point where it’s almost prohibited, so in reality, the amount of mana that can be used is less than a handful.

Roanna perfectly unfolded her magic with that handful of mana. Especially the students from the Magic Department, who are also magicians, looked at Roanna with expressions that went beyond humiliation to awe.

Roanna, who had bound all the notable students in the academy, entered the administration office, completed her course registration, and left leisurely.

“Well then, goodbye.”

“…”

“That’s really insane, isn’t it?”

Yuna, Mason, and Ron shook their heads.

“If she had come out at the interdepartmental exchange… it would have just been over.”

Even Mason, with his lofty pride, couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by that sight.

As soon as Roanna left, the paralyzed students rushed forward urgently.

At the very front was, of course, Max Jurod, who was outstanding even among the top students.

Max seemed to have become quite stronger during the vacation, as his footwork was much lighter than before.

“Max.”

Mason ignited his fighting spirit at that sight.

Since the entire Ivecar Academy will participate in the academy exchange, Max Jurod, Claudie’s disciple, will also participate.

Although they’ll be on the same team for the exchange, Mason still didn’t want to lose to Max.

“Ugh!”

However, even Max couldn’t withstand this enormous crowd and started to get pushed back.

“Who…”

As he turned around, he saw students from the Magic Department. Magic Department students he was familiar with were leading the effort to block Max.

“Roanna showed us something good.”

“We, the Magic Department, will fairly take Teacher Ethan’s class!”

“Get ready! It’s the Magic Department students who can unfold magic even with a handful of mana!”

The Magic Department students, who had suddenly changed their stance, began to block the Knight Department students.

“So this is how it’s going to be?”

“Let’s all stick together! This semester, let’s have our Knight Department monopolize all of Teacher Ethan’s classes!”

The course registration war began to intensify.

Since they absolutely couldn’t hurt each other, a rough but injury-free battle continued in the form of pushing, binding, or blocking paths.

Despite the large number of people, there were no screams that would indicate injuries.

Only rough breathing filled the air.

In the midst of this ongoing war, a teacher passed by with quick steps.

“What, is this all?”

It was Ciron Ramsdale.

“Teacher Ciron! Shouldn’t we stop that? I think someone might get hurt.”

An administrative teacher who was watching said with a pale face.

“Those are students trying to register for Teacher Ethan’s class!”

“All those students?”

“Yes!”

“Hmm, that looks difficult to stop. I might get caught up in it if I go in there. But…”

Ciron said with a subtly expectant expression.

“I think my class has been open for registration since yesterday, how many students have signed up?”

“Ah…! They’re going to get hurt at this rate!”

The administrative teacher pretended not to hear and ran towards the administration office.

“Surely… not?”

Ciron wore an anxious expression. Then he quickly headed to his original destination, Ethan’s office, which was the hideout of the friendship club.
